Question for the LEFT regarding civil rights leader Kristen Clarke

Probably and they would be just as wrong. That is not a reason to emulate them. Like I said I have been called racist for certain opinions. I just defend them logically because I do not believe I am racist. I have also been called ageist and people hate my electoral college voting ideas.

 

Meh. I happen to think blacks prolly do have 'greater spiritual abilities', and to explain why would of course be 'racist', so I won't. They also seem to tend to be better at sports. Tho, I don't see how melanin would actually cause this, but seems to me rather a coincidental shared similarity. Perhaps both come from adapting/evolving to the environments of Africa. IDK. Asians tend to be better at math than most groups. Are they 'smarter'? I don't think so. I'm pretty 'smart' but terrible specifically at math... I think all genetic 'groups' are prone to certain inherent genetic advantages and disadvantages over other groups depending on the context, and of course there'll always be exceptions- some blacks terrible at sports, some asians terrible at math, etc.... To say one is 'better' than other is asinine. A hammer is better for nails, a drill better for screws, neither is 'better' than the other without specific context, and both are critical for building a house. And just ftr, none of these genetically inherent advantages/disadvantages are substantial enough to warrant iniquitous treatment. Asians should have as much opportunity to play sports as blacks should have to become mathematicians, because all groups are potentially genetically capable of excelling at anything with hard work.

Except white ppl, of course. White ppl are just the devil.

 

Greater vs superior? Same difference.

 

The words you write "that melanin confers superior intellect spirituality on black people", do not appear.
You rewrote more than just the word superior.
You basically distorted every single word she wrote.

And superior or greater than what?

 

I'm asking if a person said the same thing about white people, would that be cool?

 

You raise a good point here. We see these kind of double-standard quite a bit depending on the person or party. The "rules" should apply across the board but that's not how race baiters operate. The poke and poke and poke trying to bully people into accepting their statements as gospel. I have no doubt this wouldn't even a topic for discussion if the person involved was a non-minority.

 

Read post #43 in this thread. I think I answered that question.

 

They're not. The vast majority of humanity has considerably more melanin than white people, but few commit crime.

 

I agree with you for the most part but I don't think the story here was dependent Clarke being a minority. If she was white and said the exact same thing I think it would still be a story because the key point of the story is right in the headline. They put it in large font and bolded it.

Biden pick to head DOJ Civil Rights Division wrote Blacks had 'superior physical and mental abilities'

This is simply another attempt to manufacture outrage. Look at the conclusions that many intelligent posters in this thread have come too. They say the Kristen Clarke, who Biden put in a position of power, (when you say put in a position of power it is scarier), either said or wrote racist things. The conclusion is she is a racist. The interesting fact is I am pretty sure that no where in the article does Tucker even make the claim she is racist. As I pointed out in another post he took the care to write "Clarke wrote the phrase" not simply Clarke wrote or Clarke said or even Clarke believes because he knows why she wrote the letter and the story behind it. He presented the information and shaped it in a way that the average reader will equate Biden's pick to be a racist and in Tucker's world outrage equates to viewers and ratings.

 

So, skin color is irrelevant to whether a person commits a crime. I knew as much. Many don't seem to know this.

 

But the headline is a lie. The quote by Clarke doesn't state that.
As you said, to manufacture outrage.

That is the job of Carlson, the one who the article is actually about.
Not really about Clarke, she's just the one he wanted to mfg outrage about.

 

I agree but they cover that because the next line in a smaller font says:

Kristen Clarke wrote the phrase in 1994 to Harvard newspaper while undergraduate.

 

But that's to late. You now have headline readers quoting the headline knowing nothing of the topic.
But that's the reason for a headline lie. As you said, to mfg outrage. So they can sell more ads.

Not the data, the conclusions

https://www.vox.com/2018/4/10/17182692/bell-curve-charles-murray-policy-wrong

And I refuse to believe that anybody familiar with race controversy in America doesn't know this.

 

The conclusions of the book were not about race, but about the relationship to IQ and positive life outcomes. Spoiler alert, but they concluded that on average, the higher the IQ, the better life outcomes. You may disagree with this, but if you do, please provide the data to back it up.


Also, Vox is progressivism for kids.

 

You mean the way you provided data to back up your disparagement of the article from Vox?

 

My opinion of Vox is one that's shared by most adults. I wouldn't say it's controversial. The data I was asking about wasn't about Vox however, it was that IQ has no impact on positive life outcomes. Feel free to provide it if available.

 

So.......you have no data. Got it.

Your opinion of Vox is one that's shared by most conservatives, who like you, can't refute the material they publish.

 

Please quote me claiming to have data about Vox.

 

KRISTEN CLARKE LIES UNDER OATH ABOUT HER RACIST WRITING AT HARVARD

During yesterday’s hearing on the nomination of Kristen Clarke to head the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, the nominee was asked about an article she wrote while a student at Harvard. In that article, Clarke argued that Blacks are superior to Whites in numerous respects.

 

She's a racist.

UNEQUAL JUSTICE: Biden DOJ Pick Struggles to Defend Record on Black Panther Prosecutions: During confirmation hearing, Republicans pushed Kristen Clarke on her history of opposing civil rights cases against black defendants.

Racists gonna racist, and the Democrat Party needs to purge these racists from their ranks.

​

Justice Department nominee Kristen Clarke tried to duck questions about her opposition to prosecuting two Panthers for civil rights violations in the 2008 election while testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee. The Black Panther case is a troubling indicator of her approach to enforcing civil rights laws.

Clarke's history of opposing civil rights prosecutions of black defendants has made her nomination troubling.

Lee followed up, asking if she wanted prosecutors to abandon the case.

​

Clarke claimed she couldn't remember if she talked to Laura Coates about the Black Panther prosecution.

 

WHY POLICE OFFICERS SHOULD BE TERRIFIED OF KRISTEN CLARKE

"When Kristen Clarke wasn’t lying under oath to Senators during her confirmation hearing, she was trying her best to mislead them. For example, Clarke grossly misled Senators during an exchange with Sen. Tom Cotton regarding Jacob Blake, who was shot by a police officer in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Shortly after the shooting, Clarke stated on social media that Blake was unarmed. It is undisputed, however, that Blake had a knife.

This is a nominee whose presumptions always run against the police."

 

THE DEMOCRAT PARTY CONTINUES TO FALL APART: Biden Nominee Denied Working With An Anti-Semitic Poet, But An Academic Journal Shows Otherwise.

Justice Department nominee Kristen Clarke swore, under oath, that she didn’t work with an anti-Semitic poet, though she was listed as an assistant editor for the same scholastic journal as the poet for several years.

Clarke swore that she never worked with poet, political activist, black nationalist and Marxist, Amiri Baraka despite being named an assistant editor for a scholastic journal that listed Baraka as a contributing editor in 1999 and 2000. Amiri Baraka expressed his hatred of the Jewish People in his poem “Somebody Blew Up America” after the Sept. 11 terror attacks.

BUT

Baraka wrote, “we want … dagger poems in the slimy bellies of the owner-jews.”

“Who put the Jews in ovens, and who helped them do it Who said ‘America First’ and ok’d the yellow star,” Baraka wrote in “Somebody Blew Up America.” He claimed that Israel knew of the Sept. 11 attacks beforehand and told 4,000 Israeli workers to stay home from work that day.

Clarke penned a letter to The Harvard Crimson editor about “melanin theory” of black racial superiority in November 1994

Just Say NO! To Racist Supremacists.

 

Well:

"In 1994, Clarke wrote a letter to The Harvard Crimson in her capacity as the president of the Black Students Association to explain her views on race science."

Why does she capitalize Blacks but not Whites?

RADICAL CHIC: Biden’s DOJ Nominee Kristen Clarke moderated panel at pro-cop killer conference.

Related: Clarke misled Senators about her association with anti-Semitic prof.

 

We're so far removed from the actual discussion, I don't remember the topic.

But the 1994 letter was a student in her teens or early 20s. Almost 30 yrs ago.
Do you still believe as you did when you were 20?

You want to discuss something 30 yrs old and why a letter is or isn't Capitalize?
